The emergence of triglycerides as a significant independent risk factor in coronary artery disease
TL;DR: The Prospective Cardiovascular Münster (PROCAM) study showed that fasting levels of triglycerides were an independent risk factor for CHD events, irrespective of serum levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) or low density cholesterol (LDL-L), and that individuals with potentially atherogenic lipid profiles should be managed initially through the introduction of lifestyle changes.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for kidney function–related traits, including 71,149 east Asian individuals from 18 studies in 11 population-, hospital- or family-based cohorts, conducted as part of the Asian Genetic Epidemiology Network (AGEN), identified 17 loci newly associated with kidney function-related traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
A plasma lipoprotein containing only apolipoprotein E and with gamma mobility on electrophoresis releases cholesterol from cells.
TL;DR: The results strongly indicate the presence in human plasma of a lipoprotein containing only apoE, gamma-LpE, which is secreted by peripheral cells and is a potent acceptor of cell-derived cholesterol.
Journal ArticleDOI
The CAG repeat polymorphism in the androgen receptor gene modulates body fat mass and serum concentrations of leptin and insulin in men
TL;DR: The pivotal role of this polymorphism in modulating androgen effects on cardiovascular risk factors is of a complex nature and implies that its clinical impact, similar to that of androgens, is dependent on exogenous cofactors.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is concluded that hyperhomocyst(e)inemia is an independent coronary risk factor and that its interrelation with fibrinogen levels merits further study.
